After a full reset from the Grinch Storm, we're building back a base for backcountry skiing and riding. With an increase in traffic at Pinkham Notch, it's great news to hear that there was no major incidents, but hazards are still there.
Thanks for the feedback last week and a couple links passed along from listeners:

Climate Reanalyzer - via Jordan Fields

Welcome to this week's episode with Frank Carus and Jeff Fongemie. Jeff has spent a ton of time in the White Mountains and the past several winters as a snow ranger. He's also responsible for integrating many of the forecasting tools to the MWAC website. We chat about the recent storm, the updates to the website, and upcoming events.
